Woot!! I’m officially published in this anthology for my story, “Gotta Love Pups”. https://www.amazon.com/Sisters-Writing-Publishing-Second-Anthology-ebook/dp/B07TKZWH2B/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Cool news. My award-wining short story, Pussy Reaper's Revenge, I've written into a novel. Not to be posted on Booksie unfortunately, to pursue my dream of traditionally publishing. I removed my short-story from this site. Thank you to all who read and commented on it.
Blessings,
Joy Shaw
Stay tuned for news on my publishing journey.

Profile Information
Welcome, friend!
Thanks for entering my creative writing corner. I invite you to read my poetry, my essays and my young adult stories. Some topics challenge the fabric of our society. Others depict the real struggles of brave girls defying the odds to grow into brave women.
A little about Joy Shaw — A bookworm from the beginning, my nose was often stuck in the pages of mysteries, romances and thrillers: Judy Blume, Carolyne Keene, Ayn Rand, John Grisham, Nora Roberts and Jane Austen to name a few. Fast forward to the present and my longing for good literature remains strong. As an avid poet, I pen my YA fiction with a poetry-prose style and pepper in contemporary issues and personal experiences. In the town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, I raise my precocious four-year old son with my ever-supportive husband. While, as a stay-at-home mom with a Bachelor’s Degree in elementary education, I use my my free moments to write and also contribute monthly articles to a Finnish newsletter. Recently, I won first prize on booksie-dot-com for my short-story, Pussy Reaper’s Revenge; just one of the stories in my dynamic short-story collection, Brave Girls, Brave Tales. Call me adventurous, a lot bit zany too. I love backpacking rugged terrain, cross-country skiing, Finnish saunas and vacations to national parks. My life would not be complete without my family or without my writing.
I share my stories with you because everyone deserves a safe space to dream. Feel free to unwind, laugh, cry, think, enjoy a wonderful moment. May you be inspired!
Warmly,
Joy Shaw
